The '''SurnameYou can access the {{man label|Data Entry Gramplet}} by adding it to the Gramplet sidebars or bottombars in the People, Given''' entry Relationship and Chart views. This gramplet is a combined entry only for just "Person" category views, so it is unavailable in the surname and given names, separated by a commaDashboard or Family views... If you need more fine grained editing or any other views that focuses on something other than the Active Person. You can still detach/undock the name (for example, you need Gramplet to add a suffix or prefix), you can allow use the Edit icon once a person has been selected as the active personwhile referencing other Views.

The {{man label|Data Entry Gramplet}} consists of two separate sections: the '''Death[[Gramps_Glossary#active_person|Active person]]''' and '''BirthNew person'''sections. Both sections have a number of text fields, just displaying that type of data for different people. The topmost of is thhe {{man label|Surname, Given:}} entry field/// which is a combined entry for just the surname followed by a comma and the given names. If you need more finely grained editing on the name (for example, the person' s name includes a suffix or prefix), you can use the Edit icon once the new person has been created. The {{man label|Death:}} and {{man label|Birth:}} lines for both the '''Active person''' and '''New person''' are also a combined entry, allowing you to enter a date and place. The date (if one) is entered first in any format available to your GRAMPS Gramps installation, followed by the word "<code>in" </code> (in your language) and the location (if one). For example, the following are all valid entries for the birth or death entries:

A new To {{man button|Add}} a '''New person can be automatically added ''' as a relation to the active person. You can add choose a relation type from the {{man label|Add relation:}} drop down eg: ''No relation to the new active person ''(default), Add as a Parent, Add as a Mother, Add as a Father, Add as a Spouse, Add as a parentWife, spouseAdd as a Husband, siblingAdd as a Sibling, or childAdd as a Child. The gramplet Gramplet will guess at the best place to add the person. For example, it will add the new person to the first family available. The gramplet Gramplet will also try to discern gender where needed, guessing that the "father" spouse of a family is male, and the "mother" spouse is female. If these guesses are incorrect, you should add your new person via the normal GRAMPS Gramps data entry method.  Click on the Edit button to the right of the Active person's name to use the standard {{man label|Edit Person}} window.  Click on the Edit button to the right of the {{man label|Family:}} label to use the standard {{man label|Edit Family}} window. This will bring up the first/primary family (if the active person is a parent in a family) or will bring up the active person's parent's family, if it is known. If you begin an edit of the active person, then the active person data won't change until you either {{man button|Save}} or {{man button|Abandon}} your changes. {{man tip|Use an existing person as a Template|Understanding the precise data format needed to avoid creating duplicate place and sources can be confusing.  Add places and sources to your [[Gramps_Glossary#active_person|active person]] before pressing the {{man button|Copy Active Data}} button.
